• - Some countries (Australia, Singapore, Thailand!) are considering PPDR in parts ofband 27 (807-824 MHz / 852-869 MHz).- Other administrations (Mexico, United Arab Emirates,!) are considering PPDR inparts of band 28 (APT 700 MHz band plan).- In the US : broadband public safety (band 14) + narrowband PS.

“FLEXIBLE HARMONIZATION”

•

This compromise solution focuses on the handset view, rather than a fixed

bandplan view.• It enables administrations to choose between PPDR and SDL in the duplexgap on a national level, depending on their needs.

• It enables administrations to choose the type of network to roll-out PPDR: ondedicated spectrum, on commercial networks, or use a hybrid solution.

•

The use of spectrum below 698 MHz by PPDR (688-698 MHz /743-753 MHz)is optional. This compromise solution provides a “reservoir” of additionalPPDR spectrum into which administrations can tap, in case of a majordisaster. PPDR spectrum needs can be highly variable.

•

The PPDR handsets can be global ones, including a shifted APT bandplan,band 27 (850 SMR), band 14 (700 PS), and possibly a band around 450 MHz.

• The PPDR handsets can roam on the public mobile networks for non-missioncritical (data) transmissions: 2*30 MHz at 700 MHz, or on other bands.

MOBILE AD HOC NETWORKS FOR DISASTER RELIEF

The Wall Street Journal, February 24, 2014, Vodafone’s Backpack Mobile Network Offers Help in Disasters.http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/02/24/vodafones-backpack-mobile-network-offers-help-in-disasters/

With Vodafone's new backpack-size Instant Network Mini, aid workers

can look forward to a portable means of communication from disasterzones.

Reuters, June 9, 2013,

Astrium and SFR Launch Satellite Suitcasehttp://in.reuters.com/finance/stocks/VIV.PA/key-developments/article/2780176

The “satellite suitcase” is particularly suited forsenior officials, celebrities, or security forces

wanting to communicate at all times, even inthe event of no GSM network coverage or

network saturation - particularly in case ofserious events (demonstrations, sportingevents) or crises (natural disasters, terrorist

attack etc ).

CONCLUSION

! The European bandplan for 700 MHz will be 2*30 MHz (703-733 MHz /758-788 MHz), aligned with the lower duplexer of the APT700 MHz band.

! Administrations will be able to choose between SDL and PPDR in the duplexgap, depending on their needs.

!

Future broadband public protection and disaster relief networks will be basedon LTE.

! Various forms of co-operation between public mobile network operators(MNOs) and professional mobile radio (PMR/PPDR): use of commercialnetworks for PPDR, ad hoc networks for disaster relief, public private

partnerships, network sharing, local spectrum leasing, secure-MVNO, hybridsolutions.
